After the war, Japan had lost their economy and needed rebuilding. With the corning of an evangelist to the village, Hoshino with a few followers started a bible study, meeting at the public bath, also a Sunday School for the children. He soon built a small church with the help of 16 followers, but a heavy snow storm in 1974 destroyed it. In 1976 they had a new church built which is now financially independent. Hoshino married while in Hachirogata and worked with his people for 17 years. Two years ago, he and his family answered the call of the London Conference to come to Canada. He is enjoying the free atmosphere of United Church but is amused by some customs, such as, people always sitting in the back pews, the ministers have longer sermons and different instruments used in church services. He ended his informative talk by reading the United Church creed, and he is taking it back to Japan. Elaine Becktell expressed appreciation to Rev.
